The goal of interpreting isn't converting the spoken word from one language into another. The goal of interpreting is to break the language barrier between two or multiple people who don't share a common language and helping them establish an effective communication either simultaneously or consecutively, on-site or off-site. The goal of interpreting is thus to convey the exact same message or meaning in the exact same way it is being said in the source language (language that needs to be interpreted from) into the target language (language that needs to be interpreted into).
